Towards an explanation of cross-country asymmetries in monetary transmission

Georgiadis, Georgios - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2012

I quantify the importance of financial structure, labor market rigidities and industry mix for cross-country asymmetries in monetary transmission. To do so, I determine how closely the impulse responses to a monetary policy shock obtained from country-specific vectorautoregressive (VAR) models...

Buch, Claudia M.; Kesternich, Iris; Lipponer, Alexander; … - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2009

Determinants of the interest rate pass-through of banks: Evidence from German loan products

Schlüter, Tobias; Busch, Ramona; Hartmann-Wendels, Thomas - Deutsche Bundesbank - 2012

This article examines the loan rate-setting behavior of German banks for a large variety of retail and corporate loan products. We find that a bank's operational efficiency is priced in bank loan rates and alters interest-setting behavior. Specifically, we establish that a higher degree of...
